way too early predictions:

• Clemson [fiesta]
  
• Notre Dame [peach]
  
• Alabama [peach]
  
• Stanford [fiesta]

Rose bowl: Michigan vs. Washington
Sugar bowl: LSU vs. Texas
Orange bowl: Florida State vs. Ohio State
Cotton bowl: Oklahoma vs. Houston

I can't see Bama being the top seed however.

i thought peach was 2-3 this year...i had them as my 3

Coach conservative gotta get some guts. Yall should have beat oklahoma,florida,and bama.

We took the lead at the 4th quarter but Bama march right back with a TD. You right with Butch need some guts. Tennessee will be favorite in the SEC East next season and the team will be mostly juniors and Sophs. Time to take bibs off and go all out.

I don't know, which is why i have them in the rose but not getting in the playoffs. I think 2-3 of @iowa / @msu / @osu is realistic, but I don't know which 2. I think they split osu/msu. if they do, they would likely win the conference. If they lose to msu and iowa but still win the conference which is also possible, they'd go to the rose but not make the playoffs.

I'm just honestly hedging my expectations.

Top seed gets the Bowl closest to the campus. In that case it would be Clemson vs. Stanford (would they juke the rankings to keep them out West?) in Atlanta.

Nah. can't see it. Texas losing at least 3 games this year staring with ND.

Rose Bowl Michigan vs USC

I mean its something I would know 100%

Its gonna happen and I'll make a thread afterwards

Its been 12 years breh, they should have beat them this year, at this point i wouldnt count on it especially with they coach who is a choker

We shoulda beat them the last two years. (fukk Treon). I hope Butch learn to put his foot on team neck. The Oklahoma loss still stings because they had them but starting playing conservative. Dobbs must improve accuracy to have any chance.

All b/s and shyt talking aside, UT SHOULD beat us in Knoxville next season. Their power running game will play into our early season weakness which is being stout up the middle (losing Bullard, Morrison, Neal). We return A LOT of players who played A LOT last year on the DL but we're going to need 2 of them to make THAT leap to becoming All SEC caliber. Brantley CAN be that person at DT and really he should be, but he's going to need Cece and somebody else to emerge. We have bodies but we don't have BEEF. As UT, LSU, Bama, and Michigan showed, you CAN punch us in the mouth and get 4 plus yards a pop on the ground.

I'm not one bit worried about our secondary losing VH3, Neal, and especially Poole. They'll be fine. Just need a pass rusher and more depth at LB to emerge.

What a time to be Alabama

 

[Rigby.]

We need to get either Rashan Gary or Derrick Brown

Would be godly

Now you know Iowa in typical Ferentz fashion is going to go 4-8

yeah. you dead right on that actually. I'm just NOT trying to believe the hype breh...gotta manage expectations for michigan. I did that well this year and they finished EXACTLY as I said (high of citrus bowl, low of outback bowl).

This year i'm saying High of Rose bowl, low of Citrus Bowl

 

[Rigby.]

Michigan goes to MSU, OSU, and IOWA...it is easily one of the hardest schedules in america by that ALONE.

That's 2 teams that were nothings that earned their rankings beating nothings. So basically, your schedule is a farce
